The marquee outside

As the house lights dimmed inside the PlayStation Theater, smack dab in the middle of Times Square, the excited crowd roared with excitement when a huge blast of confetti was set off as Lecrae took the stage. A Christian Hip-Hop rapper from Texas, Lecrae has won almost every prestigious award in the industry: a Grammy, a BET, a Soul Train, just to name a few. 

He is currently touring his latest album, his Eighth, 'All Things Work Together'. Accompanied by his background dancers, or should I say... foreground dancers, Lecrae and his squad had the audience singing along to every lyric as each and every song blended seamlessly together with no time to catch your breath.

Lacrae mesmerizing

Roughly four songs in, Lacrae took time to preach to the crowd about forward thinking, and keeping a positive mind-state even when life's situations are stacked against you. After receiving praise from the audience he jumped right back into his set with even more energy and vigor.

TESTIFY!

He introduced all his bandmates: the drummer, keyboardist and background singers. Giving a special shout-out to his DJ, DJ Promote, for holding it down with the mixing of all the fan friendly hits he continued to rock the crowd with more jams and more spiritual speeches as the performance came to an epic grand finale.

The finale.

"One more song!, One more song! One more song!" chanted the concert goers. With the stage empty and the house lights illuminated it seemed as if all hope was lost for one last banger. Energy was reignited with an explosion of pyrotechnics, along came a TWO-SONG ENCORE from Lacrae and his hype man. The audience was elated! After the encore they all left with huge grins while new and old fans alike all rushed the merch table to pick up something before they exited into the New York night.

The entire show was really great. The new album, 'All Things Work Together' is absolutely phenomenal. You can check out Lecrae, give the new tunes a listen and pick up your own copy through his website here: Lecrae's website
